Rangers Report: Twins rally for split

After Cole Hamels was outstanding Saturday night in a complete-game win, the Rangers had a chance to take the four-game series against Minnesota on Sunday.

When Texas scored five runs in the first inning, chances were good of that happening. However, Nick Martinez gave up three homers during the next two innings that wiped away the advantage in an eventual 6-5 setback.

The first inning has been Texas' best this season. The Rangers have scored 82 runs in that frame, 10 more than in any other inning.

The Rangers get two days off this week with a two-game road trip to the Mets before starting a 10-game homestand.
